In answer, to dui variety. ot concurring prools,'::the lionourabje . , Captain, he:understood, t iatant to rely on his 17aving dined wan Lord Carttwtallia. It •would, -however, be felt by every one, Coat it was a very unfair mode Of seeking indenittity, for the Honoorahle Capni:,; to atteinirt to bring a charge of,-.Ciirmivance to why the revered character of that : great and uptiBlit man, who was now unhappily no more, From: Dilr. Stuart, who was in .Council with Lord Corn . - waliis. arid who acted as G-oernor, in the 4bsence of the Noble Lord from Caleotta, he had a letter",, Winch he would read, diaelanning all knoWledge of Capt l'opham's being engaged in any illicit ;raffle. (Hew the Gentletrimt read Mr. Smart's let ter,:statin;,,, tirat he knew Capt. pophatn merely as , a naval (Jfficer, who had come to India to improve . hiitselt' in_ profeks'Onal knowlAlge, and had made trmte useful surveys in the Bay of Bengal.. and as such, invited hiM to his table, certainly knowing nothing of his being engaged in an illicit traffic, a thiug which he had never Countenanced). The, Houonrable Gentleman then adverted to the hard' Areatnient of Admiral 'Robinson in the divrthution of the proceeds ,of the condemned ship. One third heionging , to the Frenchman Piron was con, detuned to ahb captors, but.the opiptors had never re, ceived one farthing; another third belonging to M. Constant, a'SWissokas ordered to be restored to him. bnr M. Constant , was ready to prove at the bar, that be had never received one farthing : the retnainiog third was granted to the lirnourable Captain oppo site. He would. pot tiwe the House by insisting on the superior claims of Admiral 'Robinson, after a service of forty years in the Navy ; after a longer service by his lather, who had lost a limb at the age of sixty, yet Admiral Robinson had nut re ceived even the ex pencds of his suit. The established praarce was, to grant to the captors one half or one' third of the . property condemned as Drolts of the Crowu, except in case of specie, of which only one fourth was given. Tile Hon. Gentleman cited various caves in proofd this statement. He did not bring shy charge against the Government that made the grant to the Hun. Captain. He supposed that Goverp ment was ignorant of the facts he stated, or they . NviAtild not have made the grant. A turn qt' 40,0(101. bad been Offered to Admiral Robinson, at Ostend, be w o old'release the vessel. He did not meats to say 'the plt'er was made by the 'Hon. Captain ; but if the . /lon. captain doubted the tact, Admiral 4on ould prove it jantnediately at the Lar. He trusted that he had made it.evitlent to the _House, that the conduit of the Him. Captain, throughout the whole of lauginess, had been such as he bad described it to he; attd that having begun by engag-. ing in illicit coinmetee, he hail coded by imposing vu his 141aiesty with an uuthunded statement of the transaCtion, ife therefore moved several Ilesolu , Lions to the followingeflai • " 'first it iprars to this House, that by the Decree of the tordi Cointnissibncrs of Appeal for Prizes, dated the tith of August tP.'O3„ the 1,1111) Etrusco, with such part , pl her cargo as was claimed by R.

He had been so recoils - merided, and the consequence was, that the Lords of the Admiralty reinstated him in theservice for it was necessary to Mention, that when' be purchased the Washington (afterwards the Etrusco) he was not in the King's service, having been struck of( the list some months before. In that transaaiore he must he considered as a private individual, and 'could not, therefore, in the words of. the Ho nourable Gentleman's Resolution " have disgraced the character of a British °dicer:" With I.i:site& to the expellees of Capt. Robinson, it was not owing to any negle& of h:s that they had. not been paid. After his return from South America, his Prociar had nroeght in •an account of those expenees, in which finding an item of above Hoe'. (principal and interest) for travelling and other incidental.ex puttees, he, thinking this rather a large sum, had re quested that it might be submitted to arhitration.-,-- Adverting to the charge made by the . Hon. Gentle man, that he had' ". absconded from justice," ho commented on the coarseness of the apression, :and on itA inapplicability. After the eapttire of 114! Xtrusco, be remained on the Continent until his return in 1796 ; during this period, closely employ ed svith the Army, in a way respeteing which many I-ion. Gentlemen present could giv'e testimony it; the doeumeuts on the table were not sutiicient on that head. But the Hon. Gentleman accused him of having escaped into Ostend with a boat lead4of errods. After an absence of twenty months'from his• family, was it not natural that he should 'be desirous, when he went ashore, to take soiree presents for them As to escaping 4 it was in the power Of Capt. Robin . son to have stopped him, Who not only had not done .so, but lied not even taken posseSsion of the ship until midnight. As to the bribe of 40,0001. offered to captain Robinson, this was the first time he bad . ever heard of it; and, although he was bound to believe that it bad been so offered, he could not conceive how any pet . ,ion but himself was so hue -.rested as to be disposed to sacrifice suchca largu gum. With respeCt to the charge of smuggling, he declar ed that' he 'never, directly or indire&ly, suffered any thing of the kind to take place on board his ship. In support of this assertion be road a let. ter Irian the. Rev. F. Tidsdell, the then Magistrate at Croukhaven, in which that Gentleman e \ pressed in the strongest terms, his conviction, dial., while in that, neighbourhood (s 1) favourablelor:smuggling), no transaction of that nature had taken place on his }Art,. With respea to the foor boxe of tea landed at Dungeness, he had no recolleCtion of the circutu- Stance (WhiCh he had lately taken uncommon pains given toivelltl tcp the piloteidate),but h a e s ap i rehended that they had frefree'e reward for his skill in hav ing conducted the vessel threegh a very dangerous navigation. That titer four crests did not belong to tbat'part of the cargo which was ids property, would be:evident by a reference to the register of the Admiralty Court, in which it' would be found that the whole of his tea (with the exception of a single chest) had been sold after the seizure. The Etrusco . contained 3,900 chests of tea ; stripping this transaction therefore of all the decoration in which the lion. Gentleman had involved it, the naked fa& was, that ro a pilot who had carried the Ship over 5.11Q 319 , which would have alarmed the Strongest nerves, therts had been given at a consideration' for his fettle and .ability, four chests of tea ! being in valise ehout 361. and the duties oft which did not ex ceed 271. The Honourable Oentlerrtan Win peen-, liarly qualified for a narrow investigation 'of' this traniaCtion by his near connexien with Mr. Hesel tine, the Kinds IkoCtor, and with Mr., Meyler, his under partner, who, as he was. credibly infoim- • ed, bad been for three Weeks' together at Ostend,. assorting goods anti. preparing Ahem for no ac tive importation into this country, • Recurralg to the report that had been made by the 'King's ?roam', on his Memorial, he remarked; that, in that Report there was not a hint etreot smuggling, which it would have been unquestiodably Mr. Heseitine's duty to notice, 1 1.3 4 1410 a circumstance appeared to him to have occurred. Ttit Gentleman had been unsuccessfully employed for severel years by Captain Robinson, acrd it would therefore have been his duty to do all he cupid to prevent the Lords of the Tree soly from giving money to him (Sir H. Ilepham) rather than to that gallant Officer. With resped -to Mr. Deconstant, that 'Gentleman had received 10,0001. in becereber, 1798, and 21971. in Fe. bruary, IMO. It ,had given him pleasure to, hear, thi j s„ and he had never asked for any share of these sums. 'He was aware that many persons had sutlerest by the Etrusco. The greatest autferer was Chernock, to whew executors he had been, and in formed them, that as soon as the accounts were fi nally settled he should be willing to refer the whole to arbitration,in order that an average might be struck of the sums to which the losers were entitled. With regard to the statement contained in his Me mortal, that he was not aware that he had violated 41 general law, such was hjsconvietion; might be the policy of the East'lndia Company to.oertmt the trade in Indial if not, why h,ad they rex Stopped the -numbers who were r enwd in it A4' for Monsieur De Piro!), the atlidatit of Mr. Decon. stant sufficiently proved,' that that Gentletnan, not having advanced one farthing, was not entitled' to any, saving suffered a food loss of (13,00 a and having received k?) , the Treasury warrant only 18,0001. (with the, expeCtation of another thoulatid) was he not thirty to be considered the greatest . los.::r in the sransaCtion ?- Having placed these ergum, es in a variety Of. the Hon., Claiitain concludej by exoiessing his hope, that no his retirieg truiu :lii, Houitt in conformity usege, he should not be_ again a .:used by the Hots. citiotlenyin, of "abseudd, • • from Juratce,i sion - This he positively denied. The Trewsay had'not been - deceived. He'Was. willing to take-the whole responsibility of the affair on 'himself, for on the closest re-examination which he boxt been able 0 make on the .sobjett , he was ,satistied that the Treasury had aCled on the soundest-principles ; that they must have done what they did even to an in different person,' how much more to a man so well known by the servioes he had rendered to the pub . lie, What was the case; After a litigation of ten years, a part of the property was restored to the neutral proprietors ? a part was allotted to the cap- tors ; a part was forfeited to the Crown by The laws securing the me nopoly of the East India COMpany having been . violated: But who were the sufferers by this violation ?--- the East •Lelia C;empany. 'Did they appear to feel much, injury %--No; Did they institute tiny Troseeutian in consequence ?—No. Did they present • any memorial on the subject ?•,-- NI)? I Did they interfere in any way -,whatever re speaing it ?—No. Was it not evident then, that they were willing to allow a relaxation of the laws in which they alone were intexested I Nor was this surprising. .These laws were made at a dine when a Company were !brining in the Austrian. Nether 'lands., which the .East India. Company feared as -a rival.' This was at the commencement of the.last . century. In 17c5, however, that Company. was „suspended, and, in . 173 t totally abolished. Since that period it was. notorious that British subjects bad been engaged in trade in the Eastlndies. What • 'unfairness was to be inferred from.therecoturnenda tielf of tlit lion. captain by the Governmental India to the Court of Director; ? Either that the Goverunient of India thought that they sustained no i t ,jnry thy the infiaCtion of the law, or if any injury had been sustained, that it was counterbalanced by the services rendered to the Company by the Hon. Captain. ' The only cases at all annlogoui to that of ;be Ei casco, were those of the Walsingham Packet and of the Prince of Wales. In the tbrmer, half was given to the captors, and half to the original proprietors; in the latter, a third was given to the captors, and the remainder to the original pro prietors. If the Treasury had atled otherwise than what they had to the Hon. Captain, they would have mado iris case au exception. What he had received was4tot a reward for violation of the law, It was a restitution of a small part of his depreciated . property.- Adverting to the continuance of the lion. Captain on the Cch,tinent, atter the seizure of' the }anise°, of which circumstance such an uutair ad ! vantage had been taken by the Hon, Gentleman, he read the Letter from the Duke of York to Lord Spencer, then at the head of the Athniralty,in which his Royal Highness described the extraordinary ex ertions of Mr. Popham, whoa with the British aruty in Holland, and recommended him most - strongly to be promoted to the rank of Post Cap;aiu. He also read the answer of Lord Spencer, who inform ! . ed his Royal Highness that he would take the ear liest opportunity ol complying with his requetit, and that-he. should tel the 4reatest satisfaction in pro moting an Qfficer who had deserved so well of his ' Country. •The . present' was a most serious accusa tion against the Treasury ,Board ; against that Great man (Mr. Pitt), whose purity of character neither the Veice of party nor the breath of caliminy itself had ever yet attempted to sully. It was his pride and satisfy aien to relied that he had been publicly conottiied in the saute Administration, and that he. bad been honoured by the private intimacy at that illustrious charatter, who io the whole course of his splendid career had been distinguished by the must inflexjbla inregrity,by the highest sense of homer—and by the toast ,perfect devotion to the cause of his Country. - Mr. CA LC tt A irt• should never shrink from bringing any Charge, which ht felt it his duty to urge agates' ' any Member of that House, whatever Might be Ins situation ; and he was sorry that the rules of that House did not allow the Honourable Admiral to be present at the short speech Which he had to deliver. The expressions which he had used on a former oc casion, respe6ting the disgust excitedln the navy by the appointment of that Officer to the rank of Cap-' ' tain of the Fleet, had been founded upon documents, and he could not better show the odium in which that appointment was held in the navy, than by. reading these documents, The Hotiovable Gentle man then proceeded 'to read the document, (said to be a remonstrance to Lord Gatnbier, from Admirals Hood, Keates, and Stopford, on the subject ut wat appointment), andcontended that this documeot fully Justified the expressions be had used on the former occasion. The tlonourable Gentleman was pro deeding to sumo observations respecting the question relative to the 4achefort Squadron, whets he was plied to order by • iylr. W.
